Tech Briefs Magazine - September 2022 - 17

Administrator for SCaN program office, about how SCaN
currently manages communications and navigation services
for NASA and non-NASA missions and what he envisions
for the future of space communications.
Another key highlight of the event is the Rapid Development,
Deployment, and Evolution of Optical Technologies
Panel Discussion. Since the dawn of space exploration,
NASA has used radio frequency systems to communicate
with astronauts and spacecraft. However, as space missions
generate and collect more data, the need for enhanced
communications capabilities increases. Optical communications
will allow missions to send more data per transmission
- more data yields more discoveries. During this
panel discussion, attendees can learn more about current
and upcoming optical communications missions.
In addition to the keynote speech and panel, there will
be industry demos as well as breakout sessions covering
communications developments in the commercial and civil/
defense sectors. Whether you are from a civil or defense
organization, or you are from industry, there will be panels
and speakers discussing topics relevant to your field.
There will be many networking opportunities at this invite-only
event, where you can join NASA in harnessing the
power of the electromagnetic spectrum to communicate,
navigate, and build a holistic space ecosystem.
